I don't want an iPod. I have three MP3 players, though. Two SanDisks and one Rio. I think maybe I've used them a total of six times. I don't need an iPod. I've got a six CD changer in my car and all of the other vehicles can handle one CD at a time.
I've got a nice stereo setup in the family room and I got this thing from Woot last year that sends music from my computer to the stereo in the family room. The music I’ve downloaded to my computer from eMusic.
Now, for those of you not familiar with Woot.com, they have one day, one deal. Each twenty-four hours, they put up a new product. If they sell out, that’s it for the day. You have to wait until midnight central time to see a new offering. Unless they’re having a wootoff, but that’s another story. At woot, you can only buy three of an item. There’s a way around this, I know you’d need a different credit card number and maybe set up a different woot account. Shipping is always five bucks, no matter what they sell, no matter if you order one, two or three of the item.
So, last night, when I was surfing through the CostCo site, I came upon this little gem. Now, I’ve always been amazed at the accessories you can find for iPods. But this has to be the mother of all accessories. And you’ll notice, the iPod is not included.
I’m looking at this, just shaking my head in wonder. I say “hey, Brian, look at this…” He turns, sees it, sees the price and says “well, you might as well get three of them if they’ve got them in stock”. Huh? Ah, it dawns on me, he thinks I’m at Woot and can only buy three. I laugh. I tell him I’m on the CostCo website. He says “well, then, forget it”.
He makes me laugh.
